00:01All over the world, humanity reacts to the simple fact
00:05the species that came before us was woken up.
00:08The Unified Intelligence Task Force was created to deal with alien life forms.
00:13I haven't got clearance. I'm grade 10.
00:15I work in transport. I'm a clerk. Almost!
00:19The first official meeting with Homo Aqua will begin here.
00:22My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart,
00:24Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force.
00:27And I hope this will be the start of a great endeavor to find peace.
00:32We have a gift for you, my children.
00:35But they choked on your oil and poison and excrement.
00:40I must state that we recognize the problems.
00:42You are not known to us. We would speak with him.
00:57You are not known to us.
00:59You are not known to us.
01:00You are not known to us.
01:01You are not known to us.
01:02You are not known to us.
01:03You are not known to us.
01:04You are not known to us.
01:05You are not known to us.
01:06You are not known to us.
01:07You are not known to us.
01:08You are not known to us.
01:09You are not known to us.
01:10You are not known to us.
01:11You are not known to us.
01:12You are not known to us.
01:13You are not known to us.
01:14You are not known to us.
01:15You are not known to us.
01:16You are not known to us.
01:17You are not known to us.
01:18You are not known to us.
01:19You are not known to us.
01:20With me, please, sir.
01:44I suggest that this, um, meeting is adjourned.
01:48While we, uh, follow me, while we regroup.
01:56His name's Barclay Pierre Dupont.
01:58He's a grade 10, works in logistics.
02:00Family.
02:01Ex-wife and teenage child.
02:02Bring them in, put them in an interview room.
02:04I want his file on my screen by the time I get downstairs.
02:09Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
02:11Yeah, and now I'll book your taxes.
02:13Sit down.
02:16We weren't expecting this.
02:18Obviously.
02:19Me either.
02:20So help me understand.
02:22Out of nearly eight billion humans on this planet,
02:24why do Homo Aqua want you as ambassador?
02:27I don't know.
02:28What communications have you had with Homo Aqua prior to today?
02:31None.
02:32Never.
02:33I mean, I had a goldfish once.
02:36Is that relevant?
02:37This isn't a joke, Mr. Dupont.
02:38I'm not joking.
02:39He was called Simon.
02:41Right now, a team of experts are trawling through every detail of your private life.
02:47Every text message, every email, every photo, everyone you've ever met.
02:51Barclay-Pierre Dupont, born 15-11-82.
02:54Get me his immediate family.
02:55Yes, ma'am.
02:56Where are you from?
02:58Parents deceased.
02:59Married Barbara Numai, June 2003.
03:01Divorced November 2022.
03:03Split was amicable.
03:04Whatever he's done, we're not part of it.
03:06We're not even together.
03:08Tina's child, Kirby, 16, lives with the mother studying A-levels.
03:15Seize all devices and bring them in for questioning right now.
03:18My family have got nothing to do with this.
03:21They don't even know I'm here.
03:22I never asked for this to happen, okay?
03:25But I do want to help.
03:27And the thing is, you need me.
03:32I'm all right.
03:34Well, I'm all right.
03:41The first day of H2O diplomacy has concluded with an abrupt change of ambassador.
03:47Sir Jonathan Hines has made no comment over his dismissal.
03:51And the identity of the new ambassador has been suppressed.
03:55This man is the most important person on the planet.
03:58Don't we have a right to know who he is?
04:00We cannot allow a foreign species to dictate our diplomacy process.
04:04This is dangerous.
04:11Prime Minister.
04:12The H2O committee will not allow a random civilian to represent them.
04:15Okay, you're to go back in Mount Romantello.
04:17We choose our ambassador and the committee's decision is final.
04:21I did it myself, but it doesn't look good, does it?
04:24If I'm the one in there when war breaks out.
04:26Not when you can blame the unit.
04:27Sorry.
04:29That's not what I meant.
04:32But maybe it's better woman to woman.
04:34If that's what she is.
04:35Is that what she is?
04:36No.
04:39Please, Kate.
04:41We're relying on you.
04:46Thank you for this unscheduled consultation.
04:49I am Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Task Force and representative of the H2O committee.
04:58The committee has requested urgent action regarding the role of human ambassador.
05:04Rather than appoint this civilian, they request that you trust in our original candidate.
05:10You talk of trust, while meeting in secret, in the dark.
05:19We would hear from the ambassador.
05:22Mr. DuPont is unprepared.
05:24We would hear from the ambassador.
05:28Come closer.
05:53Hello.
05:54Do you have a name?
05:59Is that a thing?
06:01Because I'm Barclay.
06:04It's Scottish.
06:05Well, my grandma's.
06:07Grandma's Scottish.
06:10My title will not translate.
06:13But you may call me Salt.
06:17Salt?
06:18I...
06:21I...
06:24Listen.
06:25I'm just a regular guy.
06:27I work in an office.
06:28I don't know about diplomacy or politics.
06:30I don't even know about decent suit.
06:32We chose you for your humanity and compassion.
06:35Not your expertise.
06:38Your leaders would replace you.
06:41But what do you want?
06:43I'm...
06:44I'm fine with whatever they decide.
06:45No.
06:46What do you really think?
06:52Well, I think...
06:56This process is about everybody, right?
06:59The whole world.
07:01It's not just prime ministers and presidents.
07:02It's real people, like me.
07:04They worry about their bills.
07:06And their kids.
07:07I mean, I'm a nobody.
07:08I get it, but I think...
07:12Maybe it's time people, like me, had more of a voice.
07:16We hear you.
07:19Ambassador.
07:22It is decided.
07:24Your request has been heard.
07:26And denied.
07:29Barclay will be present at dawn tomorrow.
07:32Or negotiations will end.
07:34Where are you taking me?
07:39Huh?
07:41What about my family?
07:43Please?
07:44I don't wanna be shocked.
07:46No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:52Are you gonna kill me?
07:55I forgot my gun.
07:56Really?
07:58No.
07:59Uh...
08:01Look, look, look, look.
08:02I'm not a spy.
08:03Or a collaborator.
08:04And I wasn't disrespecting anyone, if that's how it sounded.
08:06Alright?
08:07My mouth, it just goes on autopilot.
08:09I mean, the same thing happened when I proposed to my ex.
08:11It took me about 20 minutes to get to the ring.
08:13Barclay.
08:15I need someone I can work with.
08:17Well, yeah.
08:19Of course you do, yeah.
08:21And I think I can work with you.
08:23What?
08:29Well, hang on.
08:30I mean...
08:32Five minutes ago, you're trying to get rid of me.
08:33I have to tread carefully.
08:35What all unit wants is a peaceful settlement.
08:38But there are levels and levels of politics at play here.
08:41International rivalries that go way back.
08:44Truth is, I've spent my whole life fighting for this planet.
08:47Now, with your help...
08:51I get to build a better world.
08:53For everyone.
08:55I don't want to let you down.
08:56I mean, I keep thinking about the time I mixed up the taxis,
08:58and you ended up in...
08:59Sclaught, I remember.
09:01But Homo Aqua chose you for a reason.
09:04And I'm prepared to give you a chance.
09:08Okay.
09:09Uh...
09:12So what happens now?
09:15Now?
09:17Your life changes.
09:25Subaceted transport now arriving at Diplomatic Hotel.
09:28Clear the corridors.
09:43Security protocols.
09:44All delegates and Diplomatic staff are being relocated for their own safety.
09:47All right, but for how long?
09:48What about my family?
09:49Can I call them?
09:50Barkley!
09:51Dad.
09:52Hey, hey.
09:53What the hell's going on?
09:54I know, I know, I know, I know.
09:55Barkley will be present at dawn tomorrow.
09:58All negotiations will end.
10:02We hear you.
10:03That's what she said to him.
10:04We.
10:05That's true.
10:06How is she communicating with her people?
10:07Maybe she's wearing an implant.
10:08Well, they could have shared consciousness.
10:09Or some kind of mycorrhizal network.
10:11Maybe they've mastered sound in a way we don't understand.
10:13Using frequencies we can't even air.
10:16Like Mariah Carey.
10:17I noticed something earlier when Sir Jonathan presented the flower.
10:22Everyone focused on her, but look.
10:28The exact moment she inhales, they all do.
10:33Even the ones in the water.
10:36She's softening her language.
10:38She used sarcasm.
10:40Like she's learning, adapting.
10:42They want an everyman as ambassador.
10:44But is that what she is?
10:45Because she's extraordinary.
10:47Those remains are en route to the lab.
10:50And the H2O committee are kicking off.
10:52They want to see you.
10:54So we're just accepting her choice of ambassador.
10:56Worg is not up to it.
10:58Well, their race has survived under the sea for millennia
11:01with centuries of social evolutionary and technological advantage.
11:05She's running this show.
11:07Whether we like it or not.
11:12Evening.
11:17Didn't think you were in tonight.
11:20I volunteered.
11:21Didn't want to miss this.
11:23Let's prep one for imaging.
11:25Careful.
11:36We'll take tissue samples.
11:38Prep some slides.
11:42You...
11:47You work in admin.
11:49You're not an ambassador.
11:51You couldn't even finish your wedding speech.
11:53Only because your dad spilled wine all over it.
11:55On purpose.
11:56So you're literally the person they're talking about on TV.
11:59Like all the time.
12:00Yeah, but you can't say a word not to anyone.
12:02Who are we going to tell? We're prisoners.
12:03But dad is famous.
12:05Okay, just look at the bright side.
12:06Look at the view.
12:07It's nice in this room.
12:08It's amazing, isn't it?
12:09It's huge.
12:10You're a person living in the real world right now.
12:13What about work?
12:14And school?
12:15Kirby's got that coach trip on Thursday.
12:17A coach trip?
12:18Yeah.
12:19Oh, I'm glad you got your priorities in order.
12:20Never mind the massive international crisis.
12:23No, I'm not sure the minibar's included.
12:25Sue me.
12:26So, if you're an ambassador, does that mean you get to make, like, actual decisions?
12:30No, God, no.
12:31They've got, like, this whole committee who writes everything.
12:33That's a policy.
12:34I just have to read it out.
12:35But then, like, why are you?
12:37I don't know.
12:39She just chose me.
12:40What's she like?
12:42Well...
12:44I mean, she's kind of like us.
12:45But she's...
12:47I don't know.
12:50She's beautiful.
12:51Beautiful?
12:52Yeah.
12:53She's not a fish.
12:54She's not a fish.
12:55And she's not a person.
12:56She's something else.
12:57Anyway, I'm not even supposed to be talking about this.
13:00Convenient.
13:01Barbara, do you really think I asked for this?
13:03I have no idea.
13:05Because it turns out my ex-husband, who can't even assemble flat pack furniture,
13:09is a secret agent who lied about his job and is now saving the world.
13:13So, excuse me if I have questions.
13:15I'm making the most of this massive bath.
13:23We're putting an enormous amount of pressure on one man.
13:45I hope he's up to it.
13:46My father taught me to rely on instinct over intel.
13:55Trust my gut.
13:57He'd say...
14:04He sounds very wise, your dad.
14:07He is.
14:09You should meet him.
14:13What does your instinct say?
14:17I've seen ordinary people achieve extraordinary things.
14:22But they're usually traveling with the doctor.
14:26And Barclay has you.
14:29By his side.
14:35The oceans cover 71% of this planet's surface.
14:41The human race is quite literally surrounded.
14:44And if it comes to war...
14:48I wonder if we even stand a chance.
14:52Let me take your mind off it.
15:03Are those tissue samples ready?
15:05Yep. Two seconds.
15:06Two seconds.
15:07Three seconds.
15:38You're late.
15:45Your citizenship is approved.
15:48Welcome to Britain.
15:53What about my mother?
15:55Hey!
15:56What about my mother?
15:57No!
16:07Thanks, Maria.
16:08Hello, darling.
16:09Can't stop.
16:10Gallery opens Friday and Sue's got Covid.
16:12It's been chaos.
16:13Filming later, yeah?
16:14Yep. Oh, your guests.
16:15They're waiting in the dining room.
16:18General, sorry to keep you.
16:20Hey, take your time.
16:22Look at this spread.
16:23Homo aqua tissue samples.
16:25Know thine enemy.
16:28Oh, I haven't eaten all day.
16:30We know what they're gonna ask for, right?
16:33What do we do?
16:34Don't worry.
16:35Leave the fish to us.
16:36It'll be the death of the energy industry.
16:38Of your livelihood.
16:39We've run simulations.
16:41Look at the impact of wars and the pandemic on Western economies
16:44and multiply that by a hundred.
16:47We'll be sliding into recession.
16:49Public are already panicked.
16:51My mother was in the bank today and take her account.
16:54Yeah?
16:55Which one?
16:56The president's sole focus is to protect the stability of the U.S. economy.
17:01And mine is to protect my company's.
17:04That's what we hoped he'd say.
17:06But with the unit running the diplomacy, there's constant opposition.
17:10Hmm.
17:11Kate Lethbridge-Stewart has influence with the H2O committee and with your prime minister.
17:17Not to worry.
17:18Harry's attentions are divided at the moment and he always listens to his biggest donor.
17:25Good.
17:26We'll need you on side when we brief.
17:28Oh, you had me at recession.
17:30Oh, shhh.
17:31Oh, shhh.
17:32How's he on the news?
17:33Oh, shhh.
17:34Oh, shhh.
17:35Oh, shhh.
17:36How's he on the news?
17:37He's supposed to be a secret.
17:38The H2O Diplomacy Committee are denying all interview requests.
17:43The only thing we do know about Barclay-Pierre Dupont, our new ambassador, is that the world
18:12is watching.
18:13Copy that.
18:14The route is clear.
18:15The route is clear.
18:16The route is clear.
18:17Go on, Dad.
18:20Morning, Colonel.
18:22Mrs. Bingham.
18:23Commander.
18:24What do we know about the leak?
18:26The photo was emailed to the press by an anonymous source.
18:29Except I've cross-matched the image with CCTV from the hotel.
18:33The photographer was General Dominique de Solier, the French representative.
18:38Kelsey Preece.
18:39She's been undermining NATO since she first drew breath.
18:43And if she discredits units, she gets more influence over the H2O committee.
18:46Get the French ambassador on the phone.
18:48I'm in the mood for a bollocking.
18:49The press association is still demanding access to the hall.
18:52I'm not sure we want to get them offside.
18:54Fine, let them in.
18:55But no live TV.
18:56Fifty people maximum, and anyone who steps out of line gets barred.
18:59I'm sorry, General de Solier, your access to the hall has been revolved.
19:09Come with us, please.
19:10It's inadmissible. You can't refuse to enter.
19:14Just stick to the text on your screen and you'll be fine.
19:17Keep your body language and your vocal tool neutral at all times.
19:20No crossed arms, no raised voice, no sign of aggression or impatience.
19:24Everything you say or do or think has to come through us.
19:27What's the point of being ambassador if all I'm doing is reading?
19:30There is a team of 43 people working around the clock on this document.
19:33UN diplomats and wartime negotiators vetting every last syllable.
19:36Prime ministers, presidents, royalty.
19:38Frankly, it's a miracle we got past the contents page.
19:40You cannot go rogue.
19:42Are we ready?
19:43We're all behind you.
19:44Well, yeah, literally. I'm the one standing up there.
19:46You can do this.
19:50I can't stop shaking.
19:57Tell the press no camera flashes and keep an eye on Barclay's obs.
20:15Load pressure 138 over 90. Bit high. Pulse is 82 and steady.
20:20Is Downing Street on line?
20:22Prime Minister-
20:23Yes, we're here.
20:24All right. Good luck, everyone.
20:27Mrs. Bingham?
20:29Open seals.
20:31Ambassador, are you okay? Ambassador? Barclay?
20:32Mm-hmm. Yeah? Oh, sorry. Yes, yes, yes. I'm here. It's fine.
20:36I'm here. It's fine.
20:53Ambassador, are you okay? Ambassador? Barclay?
20:57Hmm? Yeah? Oh, sorry. Yes, yes, yes. I'm here. It's fine.
21:06Hello again. That's not scripted. Barclay. Sorry.
21:33I bid you welcome, Ambassador, and bring to session this diplomatic Congress.
21:40On behalf of all nations, I would like to say how sorry I am about your children.
21:47Are you a parent?
21:49Yes. Yes, he's a parent. Teenage child, Kirby. Barclay, just say yes.
21:54Yes. I can't imagine what that was like for you.
21:58Your apology is appreciated.
22:01Now back to the text, please.
22:04We begin today by hearing proposals to formalise our peace treaty.
22:08But first, we request a glass of water.
22:16Um, is... well, is that... can we...?
22:21Water from the river.
22:24On the river.
22:26What? They drink river water?
22:28Barclay, read the screen.
22:29Uh, we will arrange that immediately.
22:33Go, go, go, go, go!
22:40Move, let's go! Come on!
22:42Move, let's go! Come on!
22:48If, uh, Akka returns the agenda with Lysa...
22:51We will wait.
22:52Kate?
22:53Kate?
22:54Oh, okay. They... they... they... they said okay.
22:58They said okay.
23:04Contemporation!
23:05Enough! Look as you can!
23:09Keep your eyes on the water!
23:11Don't turn your back!
23:12Not for one second!
23:13Take it!
23:33Uh, glass requires decontamination.
23:35Shall I place it in the airlock?
23:36The water is not for us.
23:40It is for you.
23:43Sorry. Sorry, I don't... I don't understand.
23:47You will drink it.
23:48Hold on, Barclay. Get me intel on that water.
23:51You. Will. Drink.
23:54Uh...
23:59Just, like, actually drink it?
24:02E. coli's guaranteed.
24:03Dysentery, meningitis, and Legionnaires' disease.
24:06Barclay, do not drink the water.
24:08What do I... what do I say?
24:09Stand by.
24:13Um, with respect, I am unable to drink this.
24:20Why?
24:23Water is contaminated.
24:24Why?
24:25She knows why. Skip to 16, paragraph 12.
24:27We're aware of the current pollution crisis, and I've been...
24:31These are the words of a politician.
24:34Vetted and craven and hollow.
24:37You... would answer.
24:40Barclay, stick to the script.
24:42Barclay.
24:43Ambassador, refer to your screen.
24:45Why?
24:46Barclay, no!
25:00Because we were stupid.
25:04That's the truth of it.
25:06And the whole planet's going to hell right now because we didn't understand the consequences.
25:13But now you do.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Yeah, now we do.
25:17This is too risky.
25:18No, Wade.
25:19Still every day, water companies are pumping poison and sewage into our rivers and oceans, all the while dishing out bonuses to their bosses.
25:26And the thing is, we are letting them get away with it.
25:30We're just sat at home, flicking through our phones, making tea thinking it's someone else's problem.
25:34But it's not.
25:35This is my fault.
25:36We all played our part.
25:37Now we have to help fix it.
25:39And the thing is, our kids know this.
25:42Our kids.
25:44They're way ahead of us.
25:47Why aren't we listening?
25:51Today's the day we stop.
25:59I think you are my favorite human.
26:04Just...
26:07What?
26:28Oh, I feel amazing.
26:30I'm sorry, but I do.
26:31It's like I want to run.
26:33I just want to run for miles.
26:34I've got so much energy right there.
26:36What?
26:37You're ridiculous.
26:38You know, I was thinking about you today.
26:40When I was standing up there, like a lemon, I was thinking about all those things you told me, you and your hippie mates.
26:45They're not hippies, and that's not even a word anymore.
26:48Well, I just wish that I'd listen sooner.
26:51But I'm listening now, I promise you.
26:53Who even are you?
26:55I don't know, but I like it.
26:57You're on telly again?
26:58I don't know.
26:59You're always on telly, aren't you?
27:00They're calling you passionate.
27:01Passionate?
27:02Yeah, that's me.
27:03You haven't been passionate since Christmas 2010.
27:05Oh!
27:06Oh!
27:07Are you all right?
27:09That is a treat.
27:10Here.
27:11Tastes better than river water.
27:13Hmm.
27:14Do you know, it just hit me, just now.
27:17This is history in the making.
27:19Right now.
27:20And I'm part of it.
27:22I'm a historical figure.
27:24It's crazy, isn't it?
27:25Okay.
27:27So what's she like then?
27:28Your fishy ambassador?
27:33Are you jealous?
27:34Please.
27:35She is.
27:36You're jealous?
27:38Can we order room service now?
27:40Sure.
27:43I'll have the fish.
27:46The H2O committee have prepped new models for environmental regulation.
27:49The Greens have been trying to achieve these targets for decades.
27:52That timeframe will be a challenge.
27:53The H2O committee consulting with industry on that.
27:56Moving on, the French consulate have lost an official complaint
27:59over General de Solier's removal from the hall.
28:02They want to reinstate it.
28:03Tough, they've seen the evidence.
28:05She's denying it, and she has influence.
28:07I think it would be dangerous to shut her out.
28:09Fine.
28:10Fine.
28:11We've got bigger problems.
28:12Meanwhile, we've been debating communication theories how the Homo aqua ambassador
28:16is able to send and receive information seemingly instantaneously.
28:20Yeah, we're looking into oceanic mycelium networks.
28:22Mycelium?
28:23That's the mushrooms, right?
28:24Mushrooms are the reproductive organs of mycelium networks.
28:26Wait.
28:27I'm eating reproductive organs on my toes.
28:29Mycelium networks are the fungal threads believed to connect individual plants and trees
28:33to share and recycle vital minerals.
28:35A lot of these theories are debatable.
28:37Yes, I know.
28:38But if algae and fungi interact in a similar way when in water,
28:41or if water itself forms some kind of network,
28:44Homo aqua, amphibia, grandis, all these species could potentially be interconnected.
28:49Like a hive mind?
28:51But what if the pearl is their connection point?
28:54Or a filter?
28:55God, they're so far ahead of us, it's difficult to comprehend.
28:58We're literally children playing guessing games.
29:28How did you go?
29:29Good sleep.
29:31I just read your big speech again.
29:33Hmm?
29:34It's more of a ramble.
29:37I just read your big speech again.
29:51It's more of a ramble.
29:57Made me, well, made me proud, though.
30:01Really?
30:02But with all the attention, are you going to be safe doing this?
30:10Yeah, of course.
30:10Do you promise?
30:11Yes.
30:13Promise.
30:18They're moving you out of here tomorrow.
30:20Putting you in a proper safe house, away from all this.
30:23Okay?
30:26I'd rather stay here with you.
30:28The whole world's changing, Dad.
30:32Well, maybe it needed to.
30:34Maybe it's for the best.
31:02Your family will be moved to a safe house this morning.
31:04We're separating civilians from diplomatic staff.
31:07Look, how's the MFW going?
31:08No, I'm sorry.
31:08You're here all day.
31:09Buckley High, Rosemary Hunt.
31:10Nice suit.
31:11How important is it?
31:11But what can you tell us about Homo Aqua's demands?
31:13How confident are you that we can achieve what they want?
31:16How are you coping under the pressure?
31:18What happens if you mess this up?
31:20Let's go.
31:48Once again, I bid you welcome and bring to session this diplomatic congress.
31:54World leaders have consulted with climate scientists and private enterprise on the subject of ocean pollution.
32:01We can guarantee a 50% reduction by 2065. Further reduction will then be exponential.
32:082065.
32:10Correct.
32:1150%?
32:14Yes.
32:14Explain.
32:20It will take time to raise the finance and resources to tackle the problem, but world governments are committed to making it a priority.
32:2840 years?
32:30Yes, sir.
32:32This is unacceptable.
32:34An operation of this scale will stretch our resources to their limits.
32:38We regret we cannot guarantee a significant reduction of ocean pollution in a shorter time frame.
32:44So this is your final offer.
32:49You've waited millions of years beneath the ocean.
32:53Now we are asking for just 40 more years to reset to give you what you want.
32:59You are asking for 15,000 revolutions of the sun.
33:07When scores of us are dying every day, should we wait while your engines deafen us?
33:16While your trawlers ravage our home?
33:21While we choke on your plastic and sewage?
33:26We cannot hear, or see, or breathe.
33:33So tell me why we should live like this for just one day longer.
33:41I'm sorry.
33:42I'm sorry.
33:43I'm sorry.
33:44I'm so sorry.
33:47I believe that you are sorry.
33:51But are your leaders?
33:54The world is united in its desire for meaningful change.
33:57Do they wish that they could achieve this sooner?
34:04Yes, of course.
34:05Do they want to accelerate this process?
34:11Do they want to accelerate this process?
34:17We are committed to undoing the damage we've inflicted on our planet.
34:21How committed?
34:24It is our greatest desire.
34:30Then we shall grant it.
34:32Sorry.
34:33What do you mean?
34:34Your greatest desire is happening.
35:02What's happening?
35:03I don't know.
35:04Do you hear that?
35:05Is it a storm?
35:06That's no storm.
35:07It's plastic.
35:08Mum.
35:09Mum.
35:10Oh my god!
35:16Mum.
35:17Mum!
35:18Oh my god!
35:19It's plastic!
35:20Mum!
35:21Mum!
35:22Oh my god!
35:24Oh my god!
35:26I'm sorry!
35:27I'm sorry!
35:31It's plastic!
35:33Mum!
35:34Mum!
35:35Turn the car around! Turn it around!
35:44Get us out of here!
35:54It's happening everywhere all at once. The plastic's coming out the oceans into our cities.
35:58It's not just the oceans. It's coming out the Thames, out the Nile, the Hudson.
36:01Lock down the building! Get everyone to the lower levels!
36:04Don't you care! Come back! Come back, move it!
36:07Keep going! Keep going!
36:09Barkley, we need to leave. Right now. Come on.
36:16Now! You have to stop!
36:18We are cleaning up your mess.
36:25Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you okay?
36:27Barkley, what's happening?
36:29They're cleaning up the ocean, the plastic, the pollution, all of it. They're giving it back.
36:33We're in a car. It's chaos.
36:35What? You're outside?
36:36We can't get to the safe house. We can't cross the river.
36:38I'm sick.
36:39Just come to the hall. Check the driver. It's Imperial House.
36:42Imperial House? Can you take us to Imperial House?
36:45let's go, let it go.
36:47don't worry, okay? We'll get out.
36:48I've gotta'ry listen to me. We have to run through. But I need to help the driver. See? No! Don't see him. Listen!
36:52Let's go, let it go.
37:01Don't worry, okay?
37:02Okay, yeah.
37:08Can't be listened to me.
37:10We have to run for it.
37:11But I need to help the driver.
37:12See?
37:12No, don't see him.
37:13Listen.
37:14Get out and run in there and find your dad.
37:16I'll be right behind you.
37:17Promise me.
37:18Just run.
37:18I promise.
37:20Go.
37:22Hey.
37:30Can you hear me?
37:34I'm so sorry.
37:46Barkley!
37:48Where are you?
37:49We're here.
37:49Find Kirby.
37:50They're outside.
37:52They're outside.
37:53They're outside.
37:54They're outside.
37:54They're outside.
37:55They're outside.
37:57They're outside.
38:01Kirby!
38:03Kirby!
38:03Come on!
38:09Get out!
38:14You okay?
38:15Yeah.
38:15I'm scared.
38:16Follow me!
38:17Go!
38:17Go, go, go, go, go.
38:25Go, go, go.
38:26Reports are coming in from all over the world,
38:29from dozens of major cities.
38:32All across Manhattan, the sky is raining plastic.
38:40This is an attack.
38:42Police have issued a directive.
38:43The streets are not safe.
38:45Everyone should stay indoors.
38:46Do not go outside what I've done. They're declaring war
38:53114 years after she began her maiden voyage the Titanic has finally reached her destination
39:17just one of the impossible sites of the streets of New York today, streets that are now unrecognizable
39:23World leaders have called for calm as the cleanup operation begins
39:27Major cities around the world remain paralyzed with a damaged bill in the hundreds of billions
39:32Former Albion party leader Felix Gladstock has branded Storm H2O as a call to arms
39:38Every citizen of this planet is now at war
39:41It is time to unite against the common enemy
39:46Homo aqua
40:01She's a fish
40:03Barclay, you work in admin, you're not an ambassador
40:07Everything you say you'll do
40:09Barclay
40:11Barclay
40:15Hey
40:16Ambassador
40:19Ambassador
40:20We approach this Congress in good faith, but your actions have jeopardized the diplomatic process
40:28Humanity wants a peaceful settlement, not war.
40:32This war began a long time ago, and it was started by you.
40:38Now, we have simply returned what is yours.
40:49Look, there's words here I'm supposed to say,
40:51but the fact is you're cleverer than we are. That's obvious.
40:54He's off script again.
40:55This is like working with the doctor.
40:56Look, I understand why you did this. Really, I do.
41:00But it was a mistake.
41:02People were hurt.
41:04And my family were out there.
41:06And they could have died.
41:08Now things are worse.
41:10We're scared.
41:12When humans are scared, they do terrible things.
41:14Are you threatening us?
41:15No, no, no, no, no, definitely not.
41:17No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, I'm not.
41:19Enough, Barkley. I mean it.
41:21Oh, God help me, I'll come down there.
41:22Get back to the text.
41:23The United Nations of the Earth demand an armistice agreement with immediate effect for the duration of these talks to safeguard humanity and protect a path towards a long-term peace.
41:39There will be three conditions.
41:42One, that pollution of oceans and waterways ceases with immediate effect.
41:49Are you expecting this?
41:50Addendum 2, paragraph 1.
41:52World governments are working with industry on urgent solutions to this crisis.
41:55Our second requirement is formal designation of borders.
41:59Prepare for that, too.
42:00Okay, this is good.
42:01We are happy to consider large areas of all seas that are exclusive to Homo Aqua.
42:06Areas are not acceptable to us.
42:10We require all water.
42:14What does she mean? Clarify that?
42:16Sorry, all water?
42:17The entirety of all oceans and waterways.
42:20Sorry, excuse me, we're an island nation.
42:24Are we permitted passage across the oceans?
42:26No.
42:28The human race evolved to live on land, not in the waters or the sky.
42:34She said sky.
42:35Do you want the skies now?
42:37You live in the ocean.
42:38The skies are not your concern.
42:40The air above the ocean is the ocean.
42:44This is our space.
42:46Are you seeking to ground all air transport?
42:49Transport over land is your concern.
42:53Transport across water will not be permitted.
42:56But that's ridiculous.
42:57Barkley, you're losing control.
42:58Trade between continents is an essential function of the modern world.
43:02Yes, our continent relies on food imports.
43:05We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:07Barkley, there's no prep for this. We do have responses.
43:09You are amphibian.
43:11You don't own this guy.
43:12You cannot stab our people.
43:13We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:16You're holding us hostage.
43:16What about the channel tunnel?
43:17The world cannot function without cross-continental travel.
43:20How dare you?
43:22How dare you come in here and dictate the future of the human race?
43:26You are condemning developing countries to...
43:28Hang on!
43:28Hang on!
43:29Hang on!
43:29Hang on!
43:30We will take questions from the ambassador.
43:42Only.
43:43Whoa.
43:44Voice has changed.
43:45Her intonation is male.
43:47Never mind the voice.
43:50Look at him.
43:51I'm getting spikes in testosterone, cortisol and keto-testosterone.
43:54What?
43:55So she's a man now?
43:56I...
43:56I don't know.
43:59Sorry.
44:01The...
44:02The...
44:02The...
44:02Sorry.
44:03Shut up.
44:08Sit down.
44:11Shut up.
44:12How is she doing that?
44:23Incredible.
44:24Like I said, people are scared.
44:26They fear what they don't understand.
44:31They don't mean to a thing.
44:36Well done, Barclay.
44:37We'll need time.
44:42These proposals aren't something we can solve in days or weeks or even months.
44:51But while we negotiate, we insist on a formal armistice to maintain peace between our species.
44:59We have given two conditions for this armistice.
45:03There is a third.
45:05And it is simple.
45:07We stand here, in your rooms of concrete and steel and dust and light, burning our eyes and our lungs.
45:19And we will endure no more.
45:23So our next meeting...
45:26will be here.
45:27Atlantic Ocean.
45:28How are they doing this?
45:29Check those coordinates.
45:30North of the equator.
45:31Just off the coast of West Africa.
45:32Is it an island?
45:33No.
45:34They want to meet on a ship.
45:35What's the third coordinate?
45:36South?
45:37West?
45:38What's M?
45:39Barkley, that's open.
45:40Water.
45:41Please clarify the third coordinate.
45:42Your metric unit for length and depth.
45:46You would like us to meet underwater.
45:47You talk of peace and equality, so prove your commitment and meet us in our world.
45:59You're a man's trench, one of the deepest waterways on the planet, 25,000 feet, five miles down.
46:14Man submersibles have imploded in less than half that.
46:16Barkley don't agree to anything.
46:17Will you meet us, Barkley?
46:18At the bottom of the ocean?
46:19Okay.
46:20Okay.
46:50Ready to meet our planet.
46:51Let's go next a month offς.
46:52Set up the ocean.
46:53As you do, O
46:56Okay.
46:59In Yourestimates a living is room to the island of the .
47:00In yourestimates, all across that south coast of the ontη
